Ninh Bui
Co-founder and CEO, Phusion

Ninh Bui is the co-founder and CEO of Phusion, a
company that specializes in offering top of the line IT products and
services to high profile clients.

Prior to founding Phusion, he has had the pleasure of working with
companies such as PricewaterhouseCoopers and Unilever as an IT
consultant and/or software engineer. Even though he is a computer
science student by the time of this writing, it was during this period
in time that he came to truly understand the importance of putting
computer science into practice. Since all the people at Phusion share
this thought, Phusion was lovingly dubbed the “The Computer Science
Company”.

On a technical note, Ninh is well versed in a variety of computer
languages and paradigms and possesses over an (almost) uncontrollable
hunger for knowledge. In particular, his current interests lie at the
domain of Formal Methods where the emphasis is put on software
verification through mathematical specifications.

In his spare time, he enjoys hanging out with family and friends and
in particular, going to rock and electro concerts of bands such as The
Arctic Monkeys and Daft Punk. Also, he enjoys playing StarCraft with
Hongli, and is looking forward to playing against David at Railsconf.
